LANSING , MICHIGAN, June 19, 2012, (LifeSiteNews.com) – Two pro-abortion Michigan state legislators protested being banned from the House floor by staging a reading of “The Vagina Monologues,” an obscene play that in one section celebrates the molestation of a minor girl by an adult lesbian.
During debate on the state’s wide-ranging pro-life bill last Thursday, Democratic State Representative Lisa Brown of West Bloomfield, said, “I’m flattered that you’re all so interested in my vagina, but no means no.” She and another female Democrat were censured – a move they protested by holding a reading of the play yesterday.
Between 2,500 and 3,000 people attended the play on the steps of the State Capitol in Lansing.
Playwright Eve Ensler flew in from California to take part. She told the crowd the debate about abortion is “not really about fetuses and babies, but really men’s terror of women’s sexuality and power.” She accused Republicans of trying to return the state to the “Dark Ages.”
The ACLU took part in the festive feminist atmosphere, handing out signs reading, “Vagina. Can’t say it? Don’t legislate it.”
State Representative Jim Stamas said, however, it was not Brown’s use of the word “vagina” but her likening the bill to rape that violated House decorum.
State legislators are presently debating a bill that would make it a crime to coerce a woman into having an abortion. It would also raise the health and safety standards in abortion clinics.
Click “like” if you want to end abortion!
Ensler’s controversial handiwork, “The Vagina Monologues,” includes repeated vulgar slang for the vagina. One of its stories, entitled “The Little Coochi Snorcher That Could,” tells the story of a 24-year-old lesbian who got a 13-year-old drunk before molesting her. Subsequent scripts raised the victim’s age to 16. Ensler has the child remember the episode with gratitude.
A chapter in an anniversary edition entitled “I Asked a Six-Year-Old Girl,” lists a series of questions the author asked a young child about her reproductive organs including “If your vagina got dressed, what would it wear?” and “What does your vagina smell like?”
Right to Life of Michigan’s Ed Rivet said the play reading distracted Michigan voters from the important changes the state abortion bill would make to benefit the state’s women. “We’re talking about unlicensed clinics, dumping dead babies in Dumpsters and Internet abortions,” Rivet said.
People like this are gravely ill in their souls.
This whole thing stems from these idiots inserting the word “Vagina” into speech for no other reason than as a means of protest. (Kinda like tourettes syndrome for morons)
They love “hoohahs” so much, they’re insistent on the right to kill baby girls who have them. Vulgar creatures.
Well the devil’s an evil stunt rider and he rides people like horses. These women are examples. That’s just how I feel like putting it this evening.
BUT. The devil’s curses are very weak compared to the blessings of God. It takes two to tango in the gospel: one to share, one to accept. But how good a job are the sharers doing? Tons of media do not equal to one personally involved witness with an intense love of God.
They should try performing their little play on the steps of a mosque.
I try to share the Truth with people like this and it makes me feel like I’m arguing with the Devil.
I try to share the Truth with people like this and it makes me feel like I’m arguing with the Devil.I think it's because you are. I've always felt that a woman enters a Planned Parenthood a mother, but walks out arm-in-arm with Satan.
It’s certainly not wrong to attempt it, but at some point with some people it does become clear that they are adamant on their commitment to damnation. They’re really damning themselves. God has never quit being love for all eternity. They’re rapt in the ludicrous exercise of insisting that they are going to damn everything that could be blessed... even themselves. For the sake of a cheap thrill that is over in the blink of an eye. It’s God’s respect of our choice that makes a hell for men even possible. No choice would mean a love that wasn’t a love but rather was a puppet show.
Thank you for you wise and kind words. They really helped me.
Liberal women just LOVE to say the word. It makes them feel like adults, when they really are just angry adolescents inside.
